The Little Scout: Sweet Justice

Chapter twelve

Tessa's POV

She woke up to see Jake's face. Tessa screamed. "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!" She shouted at him. She tried to sit up but just feel back onto the floor. Her leg ached.
"Hey, I saved your little ass out there. You should be lucky."
"They were coming back for me. Sparky, Jess and Almond, they were coming back with the 2nd Mass." She moaned, clutching her leg.
"You would've bled to death before anyone came back for you." A girl sat beside Jake. "I'm Jeanne." She smiled.
"Tessa. How the hell am I still breathing?" She asked.
"He brought you here." Jeanne told her.
"If it weren't for me you'd be dead."
"Well if I had to choose between spending another second with you or bleeding to death, I'd pick the bleeding."
"I'm not that bad."
"Why didn't you die in the fire?"
"What fire? There was a fire?"
"They didn't come for you? You were supposed to die and then I could get on with my life." Tessa's head felt heavy.
"Am I supposed to say sorry?" Jake asked her. Jeanne held a cloth to her head.
"Diego! Fetch me some more cloth, she's bleeding again. Tessa, just stay still." She barked. Tessa did as she was told and watched as Jeanne held more cloth to her forehead.

"How do you feel?" Jeanne asked her a few hours later.
"Like he should be dead." She moaned.
"I'm still not saying for living." Jake told her.
"You should." She growled.
"Don't move so much!" Jeanne shouted at her.
"I'm going to die aren't I?"
"Stay positive." Jeanne smiled. "You aren't going to die."
"I am. I'm going to die."
"One less burden." Jake muttered.
"You do realise that when I die you'll have the entire Mason family on your back, trying to kill you." Tessa smiled at him. Jake shrugged. "You should be worried, even the nine year old is a better shot than you." Jake then gulped.
"I think you need rest, Tessa." Jeanne told her. "Jake leave her alone to sleep. Diego will look after her."Jake did as he was told and left Tessa alone.
